Without creating another new title, I think Tony Kahn should take the TNT title and change it to a cruiser/light weight title.  He has enough smaller wrestlers on the roster, if he did it right, it could showcase some of them that are not on tv.  Thoughts?

The problem with that is that he allows so many small guys to challenge and hold regular titles that it would make it look really stupid if, say Darby Allin, won the TNT Title.  They have so many small guys that it would just hammer home how many little guys they have to me.

There always seems to talk about overused moves and the such in wrestling, but do you agree one that isn't really a move but is right up there as being overused is for one wrestler walking up to another wrestler and putting the middle finger in their face? It seems like this is almost a prerequisite now to show 'this is serious'!! 

Since I can’t remember anyone doing it any time recently in WWE I will say no to that.

Who's winning the race to ruin their legacy, Hogan or Flair? 

They are running in different events.  Flair is mostly damaging himself.  I can kind of feel sorry for him since he can be out of control personally.  Hogan says the things that he has said because he means them.  To me, he is the worse of the two. I have no tolerance for racism.

Is Roman Reigns as big of a star without Paul Heyman being there every week even when Roman couldn't be?

I get the point that you are making. Heyman adds so much to what Reigns’ character is, for sure.  With that said, yes he would be in my opinion. Heyman just makes a great character even better.  

Let me get this straight, Jim Cornette claims to hate Donald Trump and then he sends you an email that is worse than anything Donald Trump has said.  How does that make sense?

When thinking about Jim I always go back to the parable of the snake. A guy finds an injured snake and nurses it back to health. Once it’s healthy, it bites him. The guy says to the snake, “Why would you do that, I nursed you back to health?”  The snake says, “You knew I was a snake when you chose to help me.” Now, other than the fact that the guy in the story should have made a mint off of the talking snake, the point is that Jim Cornette has shown enough volatile behavior over the years that nothing he says or does surprises me, including writing and sending the email that I had the pleasure of receiving (and truth be told, it was a pleasure because I laughed out loud reading it, it was that childishly funny). He is what he is so I can’t be surprised that he acts like he acted.  He triggers very easily and it doesn’t matter if truth or logic is involved when it happens. Does it make sense?  Well, to most of us no, but most of us would never say a lot of the things that Jim has over the years.  He is what he is.  Does he really hate Trump? I don’t know and I don’t care. I have washed my hands of dealing with Jim Cornette so he is not my concern.
